via PlanetF1Max Verstappen and Kimi Antonelli at centre of Montoya Malaysia predictionThe Sepang Circuit in Malaysia will host the 2026 Bahrain Grand Prix, marking F1's return to the venue for the first time since 2017. This change is due to ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, and it has led to a unique race weekend setup. Juan Pablo Montoya has predicted that championship leader Kimi Antonelli and Max Verstappen will perform exceptionally well at this popular track, which he regards as his favorite. Antonelli currently holds a significant lead in the Drivers' Championship, while Verstappen is the last winner at Sepang from 2017. The race weekend at Sepang will be part of a triple-header, following races in Baku and Singapore, resulting in a busy schedule of six races over seven weekends. Montoya highlighted the importance of bravery for drivers to succeed at Sepang, indicating that both Verstappen and Antonelli possess the skills needed to navigate its challenges effectively. This strategic adjustment by F1 aims to ensure a full championship despite the circumstances affecting the original race location.

Guenther Steiner, a former Red Bull technical director, suggests that McLaren is the only team that could be considered better than Red Bull for Verstappen, but emphasizes Red Bull's advantage with its own engine.

Steiner also analyzes the current team dynamics, stating that Ferrari and Mercedes do not have openings for Verstappen, with Mercedes already having a promising young driver in Kimi Antonelli. The article highlights the competitive landscape of F1 as Verstappen navigates his career options amidst ongoing discussions about his future.

With six wins and nine podium finishes, he has garnered praise from fellow drivers, including Lando Norris and Max Verstappen, who acknowledged his impressive performance and consistency despite being only 19 years old. Antonelli's ability to recover from a grid penalty to finish third in the recent Hungarian Grand Prix further solidified his status as a top competitor. Norris, who secured his first victory of the season in Budapest, highlighted the challenges of comparing drivers across teams while recognizing Antonelli's achievements. Verstappen echoed this sentiment, commending Antonelli's strong performances and solidifying his reputation as a standout driver in the current season. Antonelli, however, remains modest, emphasizing the need for continued improvement and acknowledging the challenges of competing at the highest level.

via Motorsport.comIsack Hadjar identifies key area he must improve compared to Max VerstappenIsack Hadjar, driving for Red Bull Racing, has shown promising performance in the 2026 Formula 1 season, particularly in qualifying, where he has a smaller deficit compared to previous drivers in the second seat. However, he recognizes the need to improve his race pace, as he currently trails Max Verstappen significantly on Sundays. Hadjar's performance reflects a learning curve as he adapts to the demands of Formula 1 racing, and he feels he is making progress in his second season. Despite his improvements, Hadjar has faced challenges in finding the right setup for his car, particularly noted during the Hungarian Grand Prix. He expressed confidence in his abilities but acknowledged that there is still work to be done both individually and as a team. The alignment of his feedback with Verstappen's is seen as a positive sign for his development and the team's technical direction.

via RacingNews365Does Red Bull already have the perfect Max Verstappen replacement?Red Bull Racing is considering its future driver lineup, particularly if Max Verstappen decides to leave at the end of the season. Arvid Lindblad, a promising young talent, has emerged as a potential successor due to his impressive performance in junior racing categories, including being the youngest winner in both Formula 3 and Formula 2. He has also secured the Formula Regional Oceania title and has been promoted to Racing Bulls for 2026. Currently, Lindblad is competing as a rookie in Formula 1, sitting 11th in the standings with 23 points and a series of strong finishes. Despite his potential, there are uncertainties about whether he would be chosen as Verstappen's successor if the latter departs. Red Bull's strategy may involve allowing Lindblad more time to develop if Verstappen remains with the team.

via PlanetF1Max Verstappen hints at Zandvoort return in future driving plans suggestionMax Verstappen has indicated that he may return to race at Zandvoort outside of Formula 1, despite the Dutch Grand Prix being removed from the F1 calendar after the 2026 season. His popularity was a key factor in Zandvoort's return to F1 in 2021 after a long absence, but high costs led organizers to decide on their exit in 2024. Verstappen is looking forward to enjoying his home Grand Prix and engaging with fans one last time in the F1 context. Lando Norris, who has also raced at Zandvoort, echoed Verstappen's sentiments about the circuit's departure from the calendar, reminiscing about the vibrant atmosphere and enthusiastic fans. Both drivers hope that Zandvoort may one day return to the F1 calendar, but for now, they plan to enjoy the remaining races and the continued use of the track for other racing events.

via Formula1.comHas Hadjar ended the Red Bull second seat curse?Isack Hadjar has made a notable impact in his second season with Red Bull, showing a competitive edge against teammate Max Verstappen. His average qualifying delta of just over 0.1 seconds is the closest any driver has come to Verstappen since Daniel Ricciardo in 2017, indicating a significant improvement compared to previous teammates who struggled against the four-time champion. Currently, Hadjar's points deficit to Verstappen stands at 41 after 11 races in the 2026 season. This is a stark contrast to the larger gaps seen in previous years, such as 388 points in 2025 and 290 points in 2023. As the season progresses, Hadjar has the potential to further narrow this gap, possibly challenging Ricciardo's record of the lowest points deficit in a season together.

via Crash"My opinion is..." - F1 boss gives verdict on Max Verstappen quit threatsMax Verstappen's future in Formula 1 is a topic of significant discussion, particularly regarding his criticisms of current regulations. F1 President Stefano Domenicali has expressed confidence that Verstappen will remain in the sport, citing ongoing discussions about future regulations and improvements made based on driver feedback. Domenicali believes that these changes will address Verstappen's concerns and keep him engaged in the sport. Despite the positive outlook from Domenicali, Verstappen's options for a competitive seat appear limited if he chooses to leave Red Bull, as both McLaren and Mercedes have indicated they are not interested in signing him. The process of changing regulations in F1 requires consensus among teams, manufacturers, and the FIA, which adds complexity to any potential changes that could influence Verstappen's decision.

via RacingNews365Max Verstappen heavily backed as 10-year F1 streak hangs in balanceMax Verstappen is facing a challenging season in 2026, having not yet secured a victory after 11 races. This marks a significant moment as he aims to extend his streak of winning at least one race each season since 2016, a record that currently stands at ten consecutive years and 71 victories overall. Despite a difficult start, including a sixth-place finish in Australia and a retirement in China, there is optimism among fans regarding his potential to win before the season concludes, with a recent poll showing 83.3% confidence in his ability to do so. The RB22 car has been noted as the weakest Red Bull vehicle Verstappen has driven since 2015, contributing to his struggles this season. However, recent upgrades have improved the car's performance, allowing him to finish second in both Austria and Hungary. With 11 races still left in the season, there is hope that Red Bull's development will enable Verstappen to close the gap to the leading teams and reclaim his winning form.
